About us
Melbourne Precision Painting began in 2008 with one van, one painter and a refusal to cut preparation hours to win a job on price. Eighteen years later, that is still the only rule we treat as non-negotiable.
We are a team of fourteen tradespeople and two project managers working across Melbourne's inner east, bayside and south-eastern suburbs. Our painters are employed, not subcontracted by the square metre — which is why they have the time to sand between coats and the incentive to care what the wall looks like in five years.
Around seventy percent of our work is residential: heritage restoration, whole-home interiors and full exterior repaints for owners who intend to stay. The remainder is commercial and strata work, where our documentation, night programs and reporting standards were forged.
We are deliberately not the cheapest quote in your inbox. We are the one that names the product, the coat count, the access equipment and the finish dates — and then holds all four.
Why choose us
Anyone can roll a topcoat. The difference between a repaint that lasts three years and one that lasts twelve is entirely in the preparation, the product specification and the people holding the brush.
$20 million public liability, WorkSafe compliant scaffolding and licensed operators on every site. Certificates supplied with your proposal, not on request.
Specified Dulux and Resene systems matched to substrate, orientation and Melbourne's freeze-thaw seasons — never the cheapest tin that fits the budget.
Up to 70% of our hours go into washing, filling, sanding, priming and masking. Preparation is why our finishes still look new eight winters later.
One dedicated project manager, daily photo updates, protected floors and furniture, and a site swept clean before we leave each afternoon.

Use a sealer on new plaster and porous masonry, a stain-blocking primer on water marks and tannin-prone timber, an adhesion primer over glossy or previously oil-painted surfaces, and a tinted undercoat when making a dramatic colour change.

Wash every surface with sugar soap and rinse it before sanding, then sand with 120–180 grit on walls and 180–240 grit on enamel trim — skipping either step is the leading cause of adhesion failure in repaints.
